5. Powered Speaker Position Select Switch

Here you get to decide if the powered monitor  

is to be positioned on the left side (switch up)  

or right side (switch down) of the desk.  

One convenience is that it keeps the power cord,  

front and/or rear panel connections from crossing  

your work space. Additionally, it doesn’t discriminate 

between right or left-handed users. Simply set it up  

to suit your preference.

6. Wire Terminals (±)

Connect the included black (–) 

and red (+) speaker wires from  

the powered monitor’s ± spring 

clips [big green ball number 6 on 

the previous page] to the passive 

monitor’s ± spring clips (as seen 

to the right).

7. Custom-Tuned Rear Port

The custom-tuned rear port uses the radiation from 

the rear of the woofer cone to extend the low-frequency 

response of the speaker. The size of the port is carefully 

designed with respect to the volume of the cabinet  

and the characteristics of the woofer to produce  

low-frequency extension.

CR-XBT: Front Panel Features

8. Phones Output

This 1/8" TRS connector supplies the output to stereo 

headphones. The volume is controlled with the volume 

knob. The signal to the power amp is killed when  

headphones are connected.

The phones output is wired as follows, according 

to standards specified by the AES (Audio Engineering 

Society):

Stereo 1/8" TRS

     Sleeve = Shield (Ground) 

     Tip = Left Channel 

     Ring = Right Channel

Warning:

 The headphone amp is loud and 

could cause permanent hearing damage. 

Even intermediate levels may be painfully 

loud with some headphones. BE CAREFUL! 

Always turn the volume knob all the way down before 

connecting headphones. Then turn it up slowly as you 

listen carefully.

9. Volume Knob

CR-XBT Series multimedia monitors expect  

a line-level signal at its input. Use this control  

to adjust the sensitivity of the input section  

according to the signal strength at its input.

The volume knob not only adjusts the overall output 

level, but it also turns the monitor on and off. Simply 

turn the knob counter-clockwise until it “clicks” off. 

Turn the knob clockwise to turn the volume up.

Refer to the Quick Start section on page 4 for the 

level-setting procedure.

10. Running Man Bluetooth Button / LED

The ring surrounding the Running Man logo  

on the front panel illuminates white when the CR-XBT  

multimedia monitor is plugged into an AC outlet,  

the power switch is turned on and the front panel  

volume control is turned clockwise until the monitor 

“clicks” on.

The logo isn’t just for pretty looks and LED  

illumination... it’s also how to connect your device  

to the monitor via Bluetooth! Read on...

Upon powering up the CR-XBT, the Bluetooth function 

is either:

(1) In sleep mode. See ‘Pairing and connecting  

for the first time’ (next page) or...

(2) ...Paired and connected. See ‘Previously paired 

and connected devices’ (next page).
